Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The TailingProcessor channel in the splunkd.log file would help troubleshoot this issue, because it contains information about the files that Splunk monitors and indexes, such as the file path, size, modification time, and CRC checksum. It also logs any errors or warnings that occur during the file monitoring process, such as permission issues, file rotation, or file truncation. The TailingProcessor channel can help identify if Splunk is reading the new data from the monitor input file or not, and what might be causing the problem. Option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because the ModularInputs channel logs information about the modular inputs that Splunk uses to collect data from external sources, such as scripts, APIs, or custom applications. It does not log information about the monitor input file. Option C is incorrect because the ChunkedLBProcessor channel logs information about the load balancing process that Splunk uses to distribute data among multiple indexers. It does not log information about the monitor input file. Option D is incorrect because the ArchiveProcessor channel logs information about the archive process that Splunk uses to move data from the hot/warm buckets to the cold/frozen buckets.It does not log information about the monitor input file12
